Kevin Sinnott's
paintings are full of light - vibrant touches, a lushness to the feel
of paint.
Sinnott's scenes are set away from and out of the claustrophobic valley
communities found in areas of modern Wales. Tight terraced housing is
signalled often in his paintings, but at a remove. His images have epiphanic
qualities - somewhat like breaks in weather, or sunbursts after showers.
They present moments of intimacy, abandon, and fecklessness, which give
the works their rythms and the mixture of reminiscence and the present
that they share in equal measure.
